Serving North Bay Area Counties and Southern California
Many times I have driven by the Santa Rosa Laguna thinking how beautiful it looks from the road but I had never stopped. On a whim I decided to pull over on the morning before our session and was surprised to see how beautiful this place is up close and personal. I had a wonderful time with this family as we got to check out a new location, one of which I know I will be returning to again.
Aw what a happy little girl. I had so much fun at our session. She was just all smiles and loved to sing. I think her momma lost her voice from all the adorable songs they sang together. I love her little holiday outfit and those super cute shoes.
My first session while down in Los Angeles was with Emily. She not only is she BLP Fabulous Faces Contest winner but she is also the daughter of a long time friend of mine. We go way back 
For our session we headed on down to Laguna Beach in Orange County. I can remember going down to Laguna Beach back when I was a young child all through to just a few years ago. Its one of the most beautiful beaches in Orange County and I have many fond memories there. I didn’t realize how much I have never seen until my visit there just a couple weeks ago. This place has so much history and is a photographer’s dream.
Despite the horrible heat I had a great time. It was over 90 degrees just a few feet from the ocean which is a huge contrast to the much cooler weather we get up here. Still I am so glad we decided to head down there for our session.
Little Emily was so much fun to hang out with. I have been itching to meet here since before she was born so it was so nice to get a chance this time around and also hang out with her momma who I have not seen since High School. Funny how the internet can keep friends in touch after so many years.
Momma I hope you enjoy your little preview. It was a real joy to hang out with you and your precious girl. We will definitely have to do this again the next time I am in town.
This was the coolest door. All hand carved wood and it had so much detail.
Here is another favorite from this weekend. This beautiful little girl is named after Amelia Earheart which is perfectly fitting considering her daddy is a pilot. We got to hang out for a bit over the weekend and I stumbled across this photo as I was going through the photos taken that day. She spent most of the afternoon on the go with momma running close behind or like in this photo she was pulling her momma to the swings. She reminds me so much of my little girl that I can’t help but to adore her.
This last thursday I met up with this little beauty and her parents for an afternoon session at one of my favorite parks. We had a ton of fun and it didn’t take long for this little one to warm up and come site on my lap. She is such a sweet heart.
Her daddy insisted on adding this twig as her hair accessory LOL Momma was a bit irritated, daddy loved it and Kaylynn could care less.
In just a few weeks she will be turning two so momma requested a photo in her special birthday t-shirt
Isn’t this the cutest pouty face?
My youngest will be turning 2 this year on Valentine’s Day. I am always surprised how ime goes by so quickly. The warm weather is still hanging around a bit longer so there is no way I could let it pass by without taking my youngest out for her 2nd birthday photo session.
She fell in love with this awesome asian paper umbrellas I have but is much to small to carry one herself so she happily sat on the dock hanging onto the handle like a big girl. I found this awesome dress at the place I would have least expected it and it worked perfectly for the first set of pics.
You wouldn’t know it but the water was pretty green but luckily the reflection of the sky gave it a beautiful blue color
Being that her birthday is on Valentine’s Day it is only fitting that she should have a Valentine’s Day birthday dress covered in hearts
And these are by far my absolute favorites.
Funny thing is now that I look at these I realize this child of mine never looks at me. I guess she is just sick of her mom having the camera in her face all-the-time but its hard to resists that little face.
I can’t believe my baby girl will be 2 on Valentine’s Day. Where does the time go? Today I got her all dressed up and took a few pics of her in her new pettiskirt and a jacket that was her big sister’s once upon a time 
My girl giving me attitude
I was laying on the cold damp ground and she thought it was so funny and kept on trying to go get mama 
Silly girl saw a plane and got so excited.
When it was time to go in Shelsea plopped herself down on the sidewalk and decided leafs were the coolest thing on the planet.
Here are a few more from last week’s very cold morning session. We originally set out to take photos of Kylie but in the end we took photos of her and mom. Mother and daughter are both so beautiful and always a joy to photograph. This will be my last session with them this year but already we are planning for next year. How cool is that =)
Poor baby was so freezing cold that we took a walk on the tracks as we made out way over to a location with some sun. As I looked back I had to take a photo of them together. Can you believe this is a momma with 4 kids?
Stopping for a little break…
Its just 4 days till Christmas. I think tomorrow we are going to finish decorating the tree and wrap the kids gifts. Maybe I should bake some cookies or a cheese cake too. yum.
